《Arcana》Chapter 32 - Iron

“No slacking! Do it more efficiently!”
I was getting near the place where they were training, I could hear them shouting.
I wonder what kind of train…ing
What came right before my eyes were little kids carrying gigantic stones and passing them around like light balls.
Truly an intriguing sight to behold.
“Hm? Oh! Enrica~!” [Shen]
“More power, you magg-! What is it Shen? Can’t you see I’m busy?” [Enrica]
“Turn around~” [Shen]
“Hm? Eek!” [Enrica]
“Hey Lan! Had enough sleep?” [Ruin]
“Yo, yeah, I had my fill. You sure work em hard huh?” [Lan]
“Of course, imagine if they’d encounter what we did and they’d be weaker than us” [Ruin]
“Aren’t they pretty strong already? I mean…” [Lan]
You can totally imagine them carrying a city if they work together…
“Strength in general, for sure but battle strength is different ya know” [Ruin]
“Sup Lan?” [Shen]
“Uh Hi Shen… Yo Enrica” [Lan]
I thought I could just wash away what happened last night.
The accident that turned into an incident flash before my eyes as I saw her.
It was an accident… it couldn’t be helped… couldn’t be helped…
“H-Hello La-“ [Enrica]
“Oi” [Iron]
“…” [Lan]
“So it’s you… you motherf-” [Iron]
“Iron” [Ruin]
“Pull out your best weapon. Now” [Iron]
“Why?” [Lan]
“NOW!” [Iron]
The man who suddenly spoke between us was oozing with bloodlust.
I pulled out my dagger since I’m not used to sparklight yet.
I have a vague idea of what he’s leading on but I don’t like it
“Now what?” [Lan]
“Iron! Don’t!” [Enrica]
“Now” [Iron]
Without warning, he lunged to me.
The ground absorbed the impact of his kick and a small crater formed there
“We FIGHT!” [Iron]
He struck me with a metal stick that I avoided by the hair.

He’s fast!
Also… that clearly wasn’t an attack for a friendly spar
I don’t know why he holds hostility towards me but he really did mean to kill me; I felt it.
His strike hit air
With minimal nimble footwork, his back was faced to me but I didn’t attack
“Iron, stop this now!!!” [Enrica]
“Hey, shouldn’t you be stopping them?” [Shen]
“I know I should, I really know but… I wanna see how this turns out” [Ruin]
“Heh~ that’s new coming from you” [Shen]
Despite Enrica’s feeble attempt to stop us, her words didn’t reach this battle crazy dude named Iron
“Of course… insects have fast reflexes” [Iron]
Without flinching, he attempted hitting me again.
He swung his stick overhead then I took a step back to evade it.
He spun the stick once then followed with the tip aiming directly to my abdomen.
I saw it coming so I pivoted my right foot backwards; as if doing a half turn
I evaded his stab but
“\Cane…chain\” [Iron]
His stick broke into a few pieces; connected by chains
As he slashed at me without even facing me.
He did a clean horizontal cut, shoulder level… his shoulder level
It caught me by surprise since it was completely solid but the chain-like sound of his weapon hit me.
I enforced arcana unto my legs then jumped into air as his weapon barely passed me.
I clad my hand with electricity then reached my hand out to his weapon then
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” [Iron]
It was… over

Almave
Welcome to AlmaVé. First thing you have to know is that it's a tragedy. Nope, not talking about my book yet. It's a tragedy that you're reading this instead of clicking on chapter 1. I did fail speech introductions after all. My story? Right that's what you're here for. My bad, try this: Lilia Hammond is reborn (cliché, but we all know we enjoy it when it's done for a purpose) as Syndra Sanmey. She was a graphic designer who hadn't caught her break yet. She was paralyzed for months before she was offered the opportunity to join a program that would allow her to-NOPE! not virtual reality. The doctors killed her and dumped her body. Tough. In her new world, Lilia has to fight herself to find out who she truly is. With the possibility to cast magic and a second chance at life, Lilia thinks she can really make something for herself. Her goal? Become the greatest artist the world had ever seen. The rub? World is a bit darker than anything she saw on earth. Thankfully, Lilia is getting quite familiar with the darkness inside her and her magic might just be the thing to save the-hey! wait it's not that kind of book. No saving the world. No hero syndrome. Just magic and blood and a bit of crafting. Yup. Fighting. Romance? Eh? What's that? The first arc is Lilia's shift from Earth to creating backstories for the three major characters. It's not funny and light. It's often dark and funny. Ah, I really should have gone through a punk-rock phase. Or goth. Would I look good with black hair? Hmm.. There are three MCs and they are Jackson, Daryl, and Lilia/Syndra. Daryl is currently kidnapped and Jackson just awakened his magic. I don't want to spoil (much) but soon things will be very fun to write. Hope to see you there! Leave a comment even if you're just stopping by so I can say hey! Chapters to be published twice weekly. Check tags before reading.

Thousands of years ago, the First Expungement came. The world changed, and humanity was nearly wiped out. Thankfully, with the paracausal power of Angelicas, humans was able to push back the Ghost tide and rebuild their civilization. Now, however, it was time for the Second. Finn Thresher was just a normal university student at first. He, like the rest of the public world, had no idea what was coming for them — but sometimes, just because you don't know, doesn't mean you can't be harmed. His family... his sight... his purpose. All lost to the paranormal. It was time to abandon his beliefs. To throw away his morals. After all... if these creatures weren't human anyway, there was no point in showing them humanity. In the first battle of this war, the Ghosts won, nearly driving the human race to extinction. In the second, the humans fought back with the power of Angelicas and managed to secure a victory. Now, the third and final round was approaching — and this time, it's personal.
